A gritty tale of how far we'll go to protect the ones we love for fans of Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone and Emma Cline's The Girls from Gale Massey, a talented new name in crime fiction.
Everyone says the Elders family are nothing but cheats, thieves, and convicts--a fact nineteen-year old Jamie Elders has been trying desperately to escape.

So when Loyal demands Jamie's help cleaning up a mess late one night, she has no choice but to agree. But disposing of a dead man and covering up his connection to the town's most powerful judge goes beyond family duty. When it comes out...
